i'm a fan of stephen colbert and is very funny on his show, but it seems to me that a congressional hearing is not the place for that kind of humor. i understand the reason why members of congress want to try to bring attention to the issue and thought his celebrity could help them do that, especially with young people, for example, who don't pay attention to politics. but i'm not sure it succeeded in doing that. it seemed to me that it ended up mocking congress more than it brought attention to the issue. >> but john, if the point is to bring attention to it and engage the younger people and get younger people fired up about the issue to get something done, there is a method to the madness there, wouldn't you agree? >> well, if it achieves that goal, more power to them. but my suspicious is that what actually happened there, alex, was attention to congress pulling some sort of a stunt that went over with some people, perhaps, but didn't go over with a lot of others. >>> okay. right now to house speaker nancy pelosi, which she says she may push ahead on the bush era tax cuts even though the
